I was wondering about a capacitor myself. I've had one go bad in my amp before, and it will produce some strange noises. What I'm hearing here
(using my ear from music production): There are a couple different layers. The oscillating sound is pretty constant, and even has a pretty steady
tempo, which could be indicative of a bad capacitor. There is, as noted a layer of "noise" or static . Judging by the guy's equipment (a tape player
from the early 90's) he's OBVIOUSLY a professional radio operator. What I find intriguing is that he gets MOSTLY this sound. Some other stuff fades
in and out, but that oscillation has a definite rhythm, as has been noted. Of note is the fact that the oscillation stays pretty much within the same
frequency range the whole time, it's not all over the sound spectrum. It's hard for me to tell, but it doesn't seem like it raises in pitch, just
it's frequency changes, much like you would hear in "build ups" electronic music, or when using a wah pedal with a guitar. The frequency seems to be
following a pretty steady waveform. I can't chalk this up to anything paranormal. There needs to be a control. A different radio, a different
outlet, different operator. There are too many variables and unknowns. Also: no headache, no tension, no sickness.

The effect though sounding on all freguencies....does not mean its NATION WIDE....it could be local to the particular reciever.....
Suppose the radio was in a room with a defective air purifying fan that was putting interferance electircal signals out.....or some device in the
neighbourhood like a large neon sign or miceo wave tower , just about anything electrical that draws power and creates interferance.....

If the radio is plugged into house current it can pick up interference from any household appliance or even the neighbors appliances/television etc.
They make speakers that simply plug into an a/c outlet of your house with no other wiring and they pick up from the stereo through the house wiring.

If its a "message" its the same message on repeat...its the same pattern over and over again. Sounds to me like a "wave" in and of itself...as in
low high low...which graphed would look like your typical wave form.

I'm going to say this is a natural effect of scanning frequencies or something of that nature.

I wonder why it sounds like a voice, though.
I'm surprised that more people aren't reporting it from up there. Unless it's unique to the guy's personal reception...

probably because
it is some guy messing around on a mic,that is going through different sound processors,then mixing the audio track into the video.not hard to do,i
could do it easily in my studio.i am not saying that it is a definite fake,but sometimes people just like attention.

Ok, but why a capacitor? Why not a diode or a resistor or a transistor or an integrated circuit such as a regulator or op-amp, processor, frequency
synthesiser, converter, etc. Or a bad solder joint anywhere else on the PCB, or the PCB it self or a bad connector, or a contaminat such as dust or
oxidization, or a problem with any of the dozens of other types of components that are as fallible or more fallible than a capacitor?
